I need to install the latest binutils on an outdated CentOS system where
no package manager is available, and the installed gcc is 4.5.2 from 10+
years ago.
Every dependency needs to be rebuilt manually, including binutils.
Binutils unconditionally requires 'makeinfo' which comes from print/texinfo.
It would be a pain to rebuild texinfo on this system.
Since docs is essentially an optional component - binutils should have a
corresponding config argument, like --enable-docs, that would be able to
disable docs.
Could you please add --enable-docs, or similar, that would simplify life
for people who build binutils on outdated systems like the one I use?
Thank you,
Yuri
